After debuting at the Geneva Motor Show, the Toyota Yaris Hybrid will be Europe’s first full hybrid in the B-segment and, much like the Prius c, the fuel-sipping Yaris will house a downsized 1.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine connected to a smaller electric motor, inverter, and battery pack. The more compact components result in a system that is 20 percent lighter than the Auris Hybrid, which uses the same powertrain found in the Prius. Combined peak output is rated at just under 100 hp, which is sent to the wheels by a CVT.

While the powetrain shrunk in size, space inside the Yaris Hybrid does not. Because the fuel tank and the battery pack are placed underneath the rear seat, Toyota says the hybrid will offer the same passenger volume and 10 cubic feet of cargo volume as its conventional gasoline and diesel variants.

From the outside, the Yaris Hybrid doesn’t look any different from its Toyota counterparts. It wears the same front fascia as other European Yaris models and is slated to arrive in UK showrooms in early summer.
